There is a scary place in the Atlantic Ocean. Many strange things happen there. So far, many airplanes and ships have disappeared. Where is this strange place? It is called the Bermuda Triangle. If you draw a line from Bermuda to Florida, and then to Puerto Rico, and back to Bermuda, you make a triangle.

Some sailors get scared in the Bermuda Triangle. Their compasses stop working, so they can’t find their way. They get lost! Some people say they see a big, spinning pool of water. It looks like a monster! It pulls everything into the water. No one knows why. It is still a big mystery.

One day, God sent the angel Gabriel to Earth. God gave him an important task. It was to find the most beautiful thing on Earth. Gabriel searched everywhere. In the end, he chose three things. The first was a rose, the second was a baby’s smile, and the third was a mother’s love.

It took Gabriel a long time to return to Heaven. By the time he arrived, the flower had already died. The baby was no longer a baby but a young man. But a mother’s love remained the same. It was still beautiful and true, just like before. A mother’s true love is always beautiful. Even time cannot change it.

Many people think pigs are dirty and not smart. Sometimes when your room is messy, your mom might say, “Your room looks like a pigsty!”

But that’s not true! Pigs don’t like being dirty. They are actually very clean animals. Did you know pigs are smart about being clean? They make their homes in three parts. One part is for sleeping, another is for eating, and the other is for going to the bathroom. Pigs don’t go pee or poo near where they eat or sleep.

So, why do people think pigs are dirty? It’s because they like to roll in the mud. Pigs can’t sweat like we do. So when they get too hot, they roll in the mud to cool off. Next time someone says something bad about pigs, you can tell them the truth! You can be a pig defender!
